Balance Exercises And Abdominal Exercises

By Suzanne Stoke, Physical Therapist @ Exercise For Balance via www.exerciseforbalance.com/
In this post holiday and getting ready for summer phase, balance exercises and Abdominal exercises are on the front burner for many folks. Please see http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Stability exercises are a perfect starting point for an exercise program. Equilibrium routines help you build a strong foundation of steadiness and enable you to progress to other important fitness components like a walking program. Healthcare professionals and medical researchers have long touted the benefits of walking outdoors to gain the added positive side effects of fresh air, Vitamin D, motivation and an elevated sense of enjoyment and well being. Walking outside, however, can come with additional challenges of uneven terrain, slick sidewalks, curbs or dealing with dogs. Stability exercises, therefore, should be initiated before stepping outside for a healthy walk. In addition to performing a balance exercise routine before starting a walking program, stability exercises can also be added to any gym routine to increase the challenge and effectiveness of each exercise. Equilibrium exercises can make free weight lifting harder. Furthermore, by adding balance routines to your program, you will also force your body to engage your abdominal muscles to a greater degree, multiplying the benefits of each repetition.

Balance Exercises Can Be Similar To Abdominal Exercises

Balance exercises can facilitate a better workout and greater involvement of the abdominal muscles if the exercises are performed PROPERLY! Stability exercises are similar to Abdominal exercises in that you can think you are doing the exercise but you are actually just going through the motions. How many times have you started doing an Abdominal strengthening routine only to find that you do not have much success? Many times the problem is that you are going through the motions but you are not properly contracting the specific Abdominal muscles. Additionally, many people attempt a core strengthening routine, which includes strengthening the Abdominal muscles, without focusing on the correct holding pattern of the muscle throughout the repetition. Likewise, without proper instruction, most people try stability exercises without knowing proper balance techniques or without focusing on the specific balance point throughout the balance exercise. As a Physical Therapist, I instruct my patients how to find their balance point and how to focus on their proper balance techniques throughout the balance session. In comparison, if someone tries to practice balance exercises without knowing or using the best stability techniques, then they are more likely to not perform the exercises well and get frustrated with their lack of improvement, leading to a loss of motivation and ultimate quitting of the balance program. If you want to learn the most effective balance techniques and the proper way to perform a balance exercise program, get the Exercise For Balance DVD.
